Who's making the trip up to Cumberland for this one? What are peoples thoughts on our chances? I can't make it this time for the first time in a few years, I allus like my journeys up to the two Cumbrian clubs so will have to rely on social media on Sunday to hear what's going on. What we need now after a very difficult start to the campaign is getting some injured players back and with that some stability. We know we have a good squad and need to repeat last year's long unbeaten run, get to where we need to be at the end of the season and then owt can happen in the play offs. As for this particular game I'll go for Town 12 v 32 Fax. Up The Fax!

I’m going up (again!). I think we will win this one as long as the lads donet feel too tired after Monday. It’s going to be a dry for rm pitch which as we have seen will suite us. panthers by 18.

Bradford did the same last week - Monday game , then Cumbria trip. They're struggling for forwards at the moment so Bradford built pressure down the middle then found space out wide. Would have been more but we lost a prop on the 3rd minute and all the middles had to do extended minutes. They've a couple of clever halves (I'm impressed by how many teams have good halves this season in the championship), one of whom completely did our defence with an outrageous dummy, step and go. They have some decent strike out wide but if the pack is struggling, they can't create much. You should have no problems getting a 4-5 try victory. Something like 36-10

After watching the game on Monday, I think I’m favouring a Worky win , a close game but I’m predicting Worky 22 v Fax 18, I think as the game progresses Fax will tire after your efforts on Monday .
A trip up there is never easy ,even Fev didn’t win easy ,trouble is this is a must win game you have now lost 4 games from 5 ,and Worky are the bottom club , with 5 Straight losses .

Charlie knows nowt!

Cmon Pete , I wasn’t far off with the score for the Leigh match .

cant make this one but going for a easy win will be good to see the 2 giants lads given another run which will help us out. Was impressed by ashworth on monday. Can see this been start of a unbeaten 8 to 10 game winning streak

All down to accommodation for us for an extra day, we are up in Keswick on the Monday 28th for a week so perhaps an overnight stay on the Sunday after the match anywhere from Windermere / Penrith in that area wouldn't be too hard to sort out.
Fax with 14 for me, and with the number of unforced errors accounted for I'll go for Worky 10 Fax 26.

Don't go to Haven mate head for workington instead otherwise you will end up watching Haven play saints in the cup.

As for the game we really need a win i will go for fax by 12 but they will certainly fancy there chances against us. And i hope that if we win it is a start of a long winning run we could certainly do with one.

Fax to win a hard fought game just but they will need to be up for it

Looks a strong squad - while I like Jouffret can't see where he'd fit in unless they put him on the bench. Would leave the backs as they were against Leigh, and the pack that was on the field in the second game against Fev. As long as they go with the right attitude can't see anything but a win, just glad we didn't play when it was a bog.

How bad was that bang on the head, Charlie?





Well done 'Fax

A good day out at Workington. Well done the lads. Overall a good performance against a team who have guts and never stopped trying but there was a difference in class. We always looked dangerous throwing the ball around. Even though it was stuff game I never felt that Workington were going to score and I also felt we could have gone up a gear. Keys moved us around the park well and caused Workington SL defence a lot of trouble. Lest carry this on against Whitehaven.

Well played didnt expect such an emphatic victory.

Got to be happy with the bulk of that effort with a number of changes from Monday.
After the penalty conceded on the first set the lads soon got into their stride and kept the scoreboard ticking over with some good scores.
Defense was just as solid in what was overhaul a pretty dominant display.

For me that was exactly the type of game we needed. No where as near as intense as previous games which allowed us to relax and score a wide range of scores tibbs was the pick for me. And with all due respect to workington they did not have the power to trouble us so for once we had dominance through the middle which made life easier for us. We do after take in to account the quality of the opposition but it was a welcome win which we need to kick on from against whitehaven next week. And one last point from the people that we came across from the stewards to the fans where some of the most friendly and sociable i have come across at a game of rugby and a pleasure to meet.
